Chapter 634: Do You Still Find Smiling San Sheng Strange?

“Here we are,” Zhu Shen said.
The mansion, which was nestled between the mountains and water, was shrouded in a vast array.
Here, spiritual energy was abundant, and various formations left their traces.
The mountains, rivers, and streams had all been meticulously imbued with immense power.
This place was truly remarkable.
Zhu Shen looked at Smiling San Sheng. “What do you plan to do here, fellow disciple?”
“What kind of person is Madam Gong?” Jiang Hao suddenly asked.
“She is highly skilled, knowledgeable about many secrets, and well-versed in ancient and modern matters,” Chen Zhanzhi said.
“Fellow disciple, I know you have quite the reputation, but when it comes to Madam Gong, be cautious,” said Chen Zhanzhi as a warning. “She has a way of finding people. Offending her is not in your best interest. Furthermore, many people in the Heavenly River Sea area seek her help, and the Heavenly Tower will always stand by her side. Picking a fight with her is akin to provoking half of the Heavenly River Sea region.”
“Madam Gong indeed wields significant influence,” Zhu Shen said.
Jiang Hao smiled softly. “You make it sound like I’m someone who loves causing trouble.”
“Fellow disciple, you jest,” Zhu Shen said calmly.
Chen Zhanzhi wanted to say that if he was here to enter the mansion, he was trying to cause trouble. However, a glance from Zhu Shen stopped him from saying so.
“Are you busy, fellow disciples?” Jiang Hao asked.
“Not particularly.” Zhu Shen shook his head.
“Would you like to come inside with me, then?” Jiang Hao pointed to the mansion.
Zhu Shen was surprised, and Chen Zhanzhi couldn’t believe it.
“Fellow disciple, this mansion is very special. It was constructed by Madam Gong to protect something inside. There is only one way to enter, and that is to have the key,” said Chen Zhanzhi. “However, the key is in Madam Gong’s hands, and no one can take it unless she willingly gives it up.”
Jiang Hao ignored them and walked toward the mansion. He took out a token.
The gates opened.
“Are you coming in?” he asked.
Chen Zhanzhi froze where he stood. His face burned in embarrassment. He wished he could disappear.
Zhu Shen was also surprised. He knew a lot about this place, and there was no way Madam Gong would give up ownership of this place. What was happening?
He subtly asked about it. The answer he received was that Madam Gong had given away her residence to this person because he needed it. The whole exchange had been casual and without any trouble.
After spending some time inside, he left with Chen Zhanzhi.
“Mr. Zhu, what’s going on?” Chen Zhanzhi was shocked. He had looked down on the person, but now he was immensely respectful.
He knew very well what kind of person Madam Gong was. She had handed over her residence so easily. What did it all mean? Was Smiling San Sheng truly that formidable?
Moreover, was this person truly Smiling San Sheng?
“I don’t know, but I have some urgent matters to attend to. Excuse me,” Zhu Shen said before disappearing on the spot.
In the Heavenly Tower, Zhu Shen walked in quickly. He knocked lightly on the door.
Thump! Thump!
He knocked twice.
Creak…
The door opened. Mr. Tao was sitting cross-legged. He was holding a book in his hands.
“Why are you back so soon?” Mr. Tao asked curiously.
“I’ve made a discovery,” Zhu Shen said respectfully. “I apologize for disturbing you.”
Mr. Tao put down the book and stood up. “What kind of discovery?”
He was sturdy in build, and it appeared that he was only pretending to read the book.
“Smiling San Sheng has appeared,” Zhu Shen said. “Did the ship leave the island already?” Mr. Tao asked.
“No.” Zhu Shen shook his head.
Mr. Tao smiled and sat down at a table. “Take a seat and tell me slowly.”
Zhu Shen cautiously took a seat. “Today, when I went to Ancient Spirit Island, I encountered someone who had the same appearance as Smiling San Sheng. Out of curiosity, I approached him and asked. He said he was Smiling San Sheng.
He is at the early stage of the Return to Void Realm. He has the Thousand Faces Treasure Fan. However, I wasn’t sure until we reached Madam Gong’s mansion. ”
“He displayed Madam Gong’s token?” Mr. Tao asked.
“Yes.” Zhu Shen nodded.
“Not strange at all. Madam Gong is on Chaos Stone Island, and it’s reasonable for Smiling San Sheng to come to Ancient Spirit Island using her token.” Mr.
Tao poured some tea.
“Not strange?” Zhu Shen was surprised. “Isn’t it strange that she gave up her token so easily? Even if we put aside the reasons behind it, it’s not easy to get off Chaos Stone Island. If it were that simple, why open the path only once a year? Why would others need to buy tickets?”
Mr. Tao raised his teacup to his lips. “Was Smiling San Sheng alone?”
At this, Zhu Shen’s eyes narrowed. He remembered clearly that there were two of them traveling together, but who was the other person?
“You don’t remember?” Mr. Tao took a sip of tea. “Do you still find it strange?” Zhu Shen remained silent.
Mr. Tao pointed to the other teacup. “Let’s talk about something else.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly paused. He seemed to have sensed something.
Jiang Hao enjoyed the brief visit to the mansion, made some tea for Hong Yuye, and then left. He needed to buy some September Spring.
Madam Gong’s mansion wasn’t very large, but it encompassed the surrounding mountains and rivers.
He also saw a pale tree with blood-red fruit. As he left the mansion, he felt the stone tablet vibrating. That meant that a gathering would be happening soon.
“So early?” Jiang Hao was surprised. Nonetheless, it worked out perfectly.
He could inquire about Nine Nether’s situation, see how far the conquest for the Ancestral Dragon’s Heart had progressed, and address the issue of Smiling San Sheng.
Given his high-profile presence, anyone who paid attention to him would certainly take note of Smiling San Sheng.
Liu must have already found out.
So, he needed to manage Smiling San Sheng’s identity. This shouldn’t be difficult.
As long as Hong Yuye was with him, it wouldn’t affect his image among the others. He could use it to his advantage.
Once outside, Jiang Hao took out the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl, Nine Nether, and Madam Gong’s token.
He only had to assess the pearl, but he didn’t know if the Nine Nether had some traps in place.
At that moment, Nine Nether seemed more dangerous.
He appraised it.
[Nine Nether: A ghostly creature. In ancient times, people gathered spirits from all directions in the extreme yin territory and fused them using extreme yin bodies. It feeds on spirits, has no intelligence, and its actions are unpredictable. Under this seal, you can attempt to communicate with it, enhance its intelligence, and potentially tame it. It fears True Dragons.]
‘Were people in ancient times so free to have done so much?’ Jiang Hao sighed.
These people were either focused on the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl or the Nine Nether.
Couldn’t they focus on something useful and less dangerous?
‘There’s no information about its power. It seems I’ll have to investigate for myself.’
Back when he used the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl, there was no information about its power either.
At that time, he never expected that releasing the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl would destroy the world. The entire southern region would just serve as an appetizer.
Fortunately, Nine Nether didn’t possess such destructive power. At least, it feared the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl.
‘Communicating with it can increase its intelligence and potentially an opportunity to tame it?’
This was worth trying, as it would at least reduce the threat. But…
Which was more terrifying: a vicious crea ture with intelligence or without it?
